I'm back... REALLY I am!

Ok, ok... I know I say it every year BUT, now that summer is about over I am back to blogging. This time I mean it. NO really! See, my older kids do most of their schooling online and sometimes it is hard for me to get to the computer (and really if I'm on I'm at facebook or webkinz); but now they both have laptops and that leaves the home computer to me :) I promise I won't let you down... I know there is someone out there becaue my blog status said it was already viewed 41 times today. So, unless I have a seriously sick stalker I think someone wants to hear about our family :)

Just a few things I will blog later about. I guess you can call it a teaser...

Kiersten graduated (a year early)
She got accepted to the 3 schools (and you'll be surprised which one she chose)
We are on a hunt for Warm clothes (hint, hint)

Madison finished her first year of HS

Blogs I Love To Follow

The Creed of Babies with Down SyndromeMy face may be differentBut my feelings the sameI laugh and I cryAnd I take pride in my gainsI was sent here among youTo teach you to loveAs God in the heavensLooks down from aboveTo Him I'm no differentHis love knows no boundsIt's those here among youIn cities and townsThat judge me by standardsThat man has impartedBut this family I've chosenWill help me get startedFor I'm one of the childrenSo special and fewThat came here to learnThe same lessons as youThat love is acceptanceIt must come from the heartWe all have the same purposeThough not the same startThe Lord gave me lifeTo live and embraceAnd I'll do it as you doBut at my own pace

I'm just a mom of four crazy girls searching for my SANITY in midst of teenagers, down syndrome, taxi driving, laundry, and church callings!
